The Cablosam® product range consists of mica tapes that enable cable manufacturersto meet the most demanding standards.

» Cablosam® tapes comprise Samica® mica paper, a support of glass fabric or polyethylenefilmandsiliconeresin.

» Cablosam® tapes are free from halogens and do not create hazardous fumes.

» Cablosam® tapes withstand mechanical pressure at high temperatures.

» Cablosam®tapesprovideareliableflamebarrierwithinthesurvivalcables.

Two types of Samica® paper, with muscovite or phlogopite mica, are used for Cablosam® tapes. This alumino silicate mineral retains its laminar structure up to its meltingpointof1200to1300°C,thusensuringthatthetapeshaveoutstanding fire-resistantproperties.

Processing

Cablosam® tapes are applied to stranded wires, conductors and cables by strip-winding machines in one or more tangentially or radially overlapping layers. The tapes have to be applied with the glass fabric facing outwards and the mica paper inwards, against theconductor.Adhesivetapesareusedtojointheendsofpadsor cross-wound spools during production.

Conductors, stranded wires or cables insulated in this mannercan then be covered with thermoplastic material to form thefinalproduct.

Form of Delivery

Cablosam® tapes are available from widths of 4mm upwards and as rolled pads orcross-wound spools. The length of the tape on a pad depends on the material anddimensionsrequiredandisavailableupto1600m.
